A&E, Duck Dynasty and Who’s Fooling Who

I’ve been requested to extend my 50% OFF SALE for a few more days. Just go to my store and shop. Use the coupon code ‘boxing’ when you check out to get the deep discount. There’s a new Sophia called “Hide” there.

Yes, there was. Or did you conveniently forget that the man was racist as well as heterosexist?

I’m pretty sure you’re the type of person who would say that the way PoCs had been treated in the past was perfectly fine.

Disney and Hearst only care about money. Cracker Barrel got hell from the fanatics

Dennis Irwin

For me, I hate it when I hedge an argument on incorrect information. It would bother me, not so much for you I guess.

Dennis Irwin

I have no idea what PoCs are.

Gary

Not everyone who thinks Cracker Barrel was wrong to pull the merchandise off the shelves are “fanatics”. I disagreed strongly with Phil’s comments of course. I also disagree with the extreme political correctness that calls for action every time someone says something a group disagrees with…no matter where that group may stand.

Obviously.

Dennis Irwin

Well I guess it means “people of color”. Just don’t know why you need an “s” at the end.

buildamoat

Convention, at this point.

Dennis Irwin

Such a fascinating outcome. What’s interesting to me is how Phil’s detractors either had no argument against him, or incorrect arguments against him that received no traction with people. Take Dave’s comment: “…. for his anti-gay comments”. No, it wasn’t anti-gay comments but anti-sin comments. An incorrect argument. (Where’s the outrage for his “anti-sleeping around with women” comments?). And yes, the bible says homosexual relations are a sin. And most folks know it. Typical, so many have misrepresented the facts here. Sin is not usually a popular topic. I get it. But this is why I think the argument was lost by the LGBT community (and progressives?)…….not being honest. The truth is, saying you like the body parts of the opposite sex is not bigotry. And when you deceive by saying it is, you’re going to lose the argument with most folks. The same is true when a hetro says they think sex/affection with people of the same sex is repugnant…..it’s not bigotry. And when you say it is, again, you’re going to lose the argument. As A&E found out, not only do most humans believe these two facts, but they live them in the real world. And for good reason……they were made that way.

Dennis you have ZERO answers for honest biblical study such as the facts presented by Matthew in the video above…yet you cling to this rabid claim of sinfulness. Very typical response from your camp…belligerence without substance.

Thanks for the source. When listening to him speak it is clear he is ignorant and perhaps misogynistic as well. But to call him a pedophile as you just did is blatantly dishonest. How does such behavior help your argument?

Lamont Cranston

Blatantly dishonest? Really? How do you suppose people would be reacting if a gay man suggested marrying a 15 year old boy?

Gary

Do you not even care about honesty?? There is NO WAY you can try to promote the false accusation that Phil was suggesting HE wanted to marry a 15 year old girl. You are deliberately making a false and slanderous claim about the man and you know it. As I said before…what do you hope to accomplish by blatantly lying about him? How can we have any hope of intelligent dialogue when people like you run around and simply say ignorant shit like this?

You need to read up on the definition of pedophilia. It has absolutely nothing to do with two teenagers marrying young.

Come on people….sheesh. I think Phil robertson is an ignorant relic of an era coming to an end. But these lame attacks against him are as ignorant as what he himself has said.

Lamont Cranston

“Robertson and Marsha “Kay” Carroway started dating in 1964, when Kay was only 14 years old. They married two years later, in 1966. They had their first son, Alan, while they were attending college.”

Dude seriously…either stop the deception or just shut the fuck up. They were both teenagers when they started dating and in an era when it was common for a 3-6 year gap to exist between men and women. My own father was nearly 6 years older than my mom. They were both young and it in no way reflects anything strange for that culture and most certainly has absolutely NOTHING to do with pedophilia. Every response reveals your ignorant bias more clearly than the last. Give it up…you look like a fool already.

Mark

OK. I’ve read the interview a couple of times; and, while it does sound pretty insensitive, I didn’t see anything I wouldn’t expect from relatively uneducated southerners. I’ve lived in Texas all my life, and this is – IMO – how a lot of people feel. So to me, Phil was just being honest, while somewhat uninformed and misguided. It’s a shame that most people look at life and say “that’s just the way it is” (with a nod to Bruce Hornsby), but it doesn’t necessarily mean they are turds.

I’m trying to view his comments through the lens of my grandmother, who would probably be thought a racial bigot today, but back in the 50’s and 60’s, when I was growing up, just believed the way most normal white people believed.

Cecilia Davidson

Pretty much convention. Also works as “Persons of Color”

Cecilia Davidson

You and your ilk use the bible to condemn gays. Talk about incorrect information.
